Commercial Stone Cleaning Across the UK

Over time, natural stone surfaces can become stained, discoloured, slippery, and covered with moss, algae, lichen, and atmospheric pollution.

At Softwashing UK, we provide specialist stone cleaning services that safely restore the beauty of your stone without causing damage.

We provide commercial stone cleaning services for offices, hotels, schools, churches, heritage buildings, public buildings, retail premises, and residential properties throughout the UK.

Why Stone Cleaning Matters

Stone is a durable and attractive building material, but it is constantly exposed to the British weather. Moisture, dirt, algae, and organic growth can leave stone looking tired and neglected while creating potentially slippery surfaces.

Our professional stone cleaning services help to:

Restore the original appearance of stone surfaces
Remove algae, moss, lichen, and black spot
Improve kerb appeal and property value
Reduce slip hazards
Extend the lifespan of your stonework
Prepare surfaces for sealing or maintenance treatments

Companies That Work With Us

Our Specialist Stone Cleaning Methods

Every stone surface is different, which is why we assess each project individually and select the most appropriate cleaning method.

DOFF Steam Cleaning

For delicate and historic stonework, we use the renowned DOFF Steam Cleaning System.

This advanced cleaning method uses superheated water at high temperatures and low pressure to remove biological growth, dirt, paint residues, and surface contaminants.

DOFF cleaning is particularly suitable for:

The low-pressure process cleans effectively without damaging the stone surface, making it one of the safest and most environmentally friendly cleaning solutions available.

TORC Cleaning System

For more challenging stone restoration projects, we utilise the TORC Cleaning System.

TORC combines gentle swirling air, a small amount of inert granulate and water to carefully remove stubborn soiling, carbon staining, coatings, and biological growth while preserving the surface beneath.

TORC cleaning is ideal for:

Heavily soiled stone
Carbon staining
Weathered stone surfaces
Historic stonework
Architectural features
Stone monuments
Delicate restoration work
Conservation projects

This specialist system provides exceptional cleaning results while preserving the integrity of the stone.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to clean natural stone?

The best method depends on the type and condition of the stone. DOFF Steam Cleaning, TORC Cleaning and Soft Washing are all highly effective solutions that can be tailored to the specific requirements of your property.

Is pressure washing safe for stone?

Not always. High-pressure washing can damage certain types of stone and mortar. We assess each surface individually and use the safest, most effective cleaning method available.

What is DOFF Steam Cleaning?

DOFF cleaning uses superheated water at low pressure to remove dirt, algae, moss, paint residues, and biological growth from stone and masonry surfaces without causing damage.

What is TORC Cleaning?

TORC is a specialist restoration cleaning system that gently removes stubborn staining and contaminants from stone using a controlled combination of air, water, and inert granulate.

How long does Soft washing last?

Soft washing treatments typically provide significantly longer-lasting results than pressure washing because they eliminate biological growth at its source rather than simply removing surface contamination.

Can you remove black spot from sandstone?

Yes. We use specialist cleaning techniques and treatments designed to tackle black spot, algae, lichen, and other organic staining commonly found on sandstone and natural stone surfaces.

Do you clean listed buildings and heritage properties?

Yes. Our DOFF and TORC cleaning systems are particularly well suited to sensitive and historic stonework, making them ideal for heritage and listed buildings.
